I had a huge shop this week, the biggest one so far this year - $177.44 but this only brings Feb average to $76.19 a week so well within budget and every now and then we need to buy the more expensive items like bulk flour, coffee etc.

$118.90 for this week - that's within my $125 budget, so YAY!  I have been over for a few weeks in a row though, so about time!  ;)

Last week was just over $150.00.  Over my set budget, but as I had a $0.00 the week before I was not surprised.
So far the list for this week is minimal so may be well under again.  Trying to hold off going out until Friday.
